Yerköprü Waterfall, Natural monument waterfall in Mut, Turkey.
Yerköprü is a waterfall in a nature park in Mut that drops about 30 meters through limestone formations. The water flows across a natural bridge structure between two canyon walls, with wooden pathways and viewing platforms throughout the site.
The limestone formations around the waterfall formed during the Cretaceous period, about 110 million years ago. Over time, flowing water carved through these rock layers and shaped the canyon and the natural bridge structure we see today.
The waterfall and its park serve as a gathering place where locals and visitors come to experience the water and find relief from the heat. People linger on the pathways and enjoy the sound of the falling water throughout the area.
The site features wooden walkways, viewing platforms, and parking, with an entrance fee required for visitors. It is best to arrive early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the area when it is quieter.
An underground water tunnel about 200 meters long runs beneath the park and contains stalactites. This tunnel connects with water from the Gezende Dam, creating a hidden underground network that some visitors discover on special tours.
